The USB Icon

The USB icon shown below marks a USB port on a PC or device.
To use this USB device, you must have Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP installed
on your PC. If you do not have one of these operating systems, you cannot use
the USB port.
Also, this device requires that a USB port is installed and enabled on your PC.
Some PCs have a disabled USB port. If your port doesn't seem to be working,
there may be motherboard jumpers or a BIOS menu option that will enable the
USB port. See your PC's user guide for details.
Some motherboards have USB interfaces, but no ports. You should be able to
install your own USB port and attach it to your PC's motherboard using hard-
ware purchased at most computer stores.
Your Cable Modem with USB and Ethernet Connection comes with a USB
cable that has two different types of connectors. Type A, the master connector,
is shaped like a rectangle and plugs into your PC's USB port. Type B, the slave
connector, resembles a square and connects to the USB port on the back panel
of your Cable Modem.
